Answer:

Two different species may occupy the same habitat if these species do not compete due to the availability of different or abundance food resources.

Step-by-step explanation:

Habitat may be defined as the place in which organisms live and interact with all the biotic and abiotic resources of the environment. Different species can occupy the same habitat.

According to Competitive exclusion principle, two different species cannot live in the same habitat if these species show competition for the same resources.

Different species may live in the same habitat if they depends on different food sources or the amount of food resources are abundant for all the species. For example two species of birds can occupy same habitat if one species eats fruits and the other species eats flowers or fruits are enough for both the species.
